Subaru recalls Legacy & Outback

Subaru is recalling certain model year 2012 Legacy and Outback vehicles, manufactured from December 1, 2011, through December 23, 2011.

These vehicles may be equipped with side curtain air bags that contain an incorrect propellant mixture for the initiator component used, resulting in insufficient output of compressed gas.
